For the same generic reason that table salt doesn't taste or behave
like the corrosive sodium or the poisonous chlorine that it's made of.

The physical and chemical properties of compounds in general are
very different from the characteristics of any of their constituent
elements in the pure elemental state.

-- Water doesn't act anything like Hydrogen or Oxygen.

-- A candle doesn't act anything like Carbon or Hydrogen.

-- Dry ice doesn't act anything like Carbon or Oxygen.

-- DNA doesn't act anything like Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen,
   Carbon or Phosphorus.  (We are lucky.)

If a rock falls from a cliff, at what point are its kinetic energy and its potential energy the same? Ignore air resistance.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy it had from being above the ground is converted to kinetic energy as the rock falls. As kinetic energy increases, the velocity of the rock will also increase.

A force vector F1 points due east and has a magnitude of 200N. A second force F2 is added to F1. The resultant of the two vector
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The second vector \vec{F_2} points due West with a magnitude of 600N

Explanation:

The original vector \vec{F_1} points with a magnitude of 200N due east, the Resultant vector \vec{R} points due west (that's how east/west direction can be interpreted, from east to west) with a magnitude of  400N. If we choose East as the positive direction and West as the negative one, we can write the following vectorial equation:

\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}\implies\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}-\vec{F_1}=-400N-200N=-600N

With the negative sign signifying that the vector points west.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules
